George darling,
Pardon me for ever bawling you out for not writing. I got
two lovely letters from you today, exciting thrilling letters! You must have
had a wonderful time going over the University of Chicago campus with Dr.
Conklin. Sweetheart, I was so pleased. I
only wish I could have been with you. O, what a wonderful time you are having!
June and I had dinner with Mrs. Meyers tonight and she asked how you were and
if you were having a good time in Chicago. Everybody asks about you, dear. All
my friends are your friends. They all like you. Thank you for the pictures of
the University. They look perfectly beautiful. Did it give you sort of a
thrilling feeling to see that couple on there golden wedding anniversary? I
wonder where we will be when that happens to us. Do you think you can stand me
that long? I love you, dear.
This will probably be the last real letter that I can send
you from Portland, dear. Tomorrow I will probably be too busy to send you more
than a note. When I get down to Berkeley I’ll start sending my letters to the
hotel for the 6, 7, and 8th. If I can figure right and know the day
that you are going to be in Portland I will have a letter there. O, goodness I
forgot I will have several letters waiting there for you because that is the
only place I will have to send my letters while you are on your way home.
Because I sort of have to write to you, dear if you don’t mind because it is an
outlet to my feelings.
Tonight we had a lovely dinner over at Mrs. Meyers. It was
awfully sweet of her to think of us. She is leaving soon, too, to go back to
Condon to School.
Pop was supposed to come in today but I don’t know whether
he did or not. We didn’t get a telegram or anything altho’ I sort of halfway
expected one. He said that they might be delayed so maybe he didn’t get in when
he planned. We got a letter from Mom too, today. She didn’t say much except
that she was anxious for us to get there. I think I told you didn’t I, that
they have made plans for June to go to school in Berkeley and live with the
Cresaps? We can come after her and bring her home for weekends. Mom is still
worrying about the cooking. She seems to fail to realize that I am going to
take full charge of that.
June is out again with Bill tonight He was waiting for us
when we got back from Mrs. Meyers and he and June went off to a show. They
invited me but I gracefully declined and spend a very lovely evening talking to
Ellen Jean and Mrs. Bowman in front of the fire mind you. It got that cold
today.
Lover, I do so hate to leave Portland. It seems so far away
from you. I won’t cry when the boat leaves, I am quite sure. I’ll bet you would
be embarrassed clear in Chicago. I’m going to try so hard to get up at
Christmas. If I could come up the same day you get home and stay until about a
day or two before or from the day after until you go back I would have about a
week with you. I miss you so much ----
All my love, Ann

Dear Brother Hibbard:
I have the Eta Delta budget which you have prepared for next
year and have the following comments to make on it.
On page one you estimate provision cost for next year at
$3700. With a base number of 30 men and the rise in prices which is bound to
come I am afraid that this provision cost may be somewhat low for next year.
I am likewise wondering whether or not your base number of
30 is not too high. However if it is, the difference can be made up by the
compensated charges.
On page 3 you show a prevision for 8 monthly board bills at
$23. However on page 4 when the various amounts to be charged for board over
the 9 months period are consolidated you will find that you have only provided
for 7 and one-half months board instead of 8 months. This will cut off
approximately $175 in board revenue. Am I not correct?
Fraternally yours,
H. Seger Slifer
